Happy Comic Release Day! Welcome to another installment of GeekMom Comic Book Corner, where we recap our adventures in comics for the week.

Dakster Sullivan – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol. 2: Enemies Old, Enemies NewTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 2: Enemies Old, Enemies New is the second volume of the newest TMNT series. Since the only thing I know about their history is what I’ve seen in the cartoon series, I’ve been a little shocked at the story so far.

I’m a child of 1985. With that being said, I’ve grown up thinking that the turtles became the TMNT from the ooze and being at the right place at the right time. This series is telling a very different tale. I don’t want to spoil to much, but let’s just say even they are having a hard time believing Master Splinter on this one.

The only villain from the cartoon series I have met so far and recognize is Krang. It appears there is something going on with him and Baxter, but at the risk of spoiling anything for you, I’ll skip what it is.

Casey and April are starting to get a friendship going at school. Casey is teaching April self-defense in exchange for her tutoring him in a few of his classes. I think they are going to make a great team in the upcoming issues. It will be interesting to see if she uses any of her new fighting skills to help out the TMNT.

Due to a little violence in the beginning that might be to graphic for younger readers, I would recommend this title for anyone aged ten and up.

Rebecca Angel – Batman: Earth OneBatman: Earth One is a reboot of the Batman comic (yes, we’re never tired of origin stories!). Apparently, making something more “modern” and “real” means taking all the fun out of it. The characters are all there, but all the color has been sucked out of them. Gotham was always dark, but could anyone make a more horrible city than this?

Oh wait, the big-breasted women in the party ogling Bruce Wayne had colorful dresses, excuse me.
